Co-production of care
“I want to know how many of you have HEARD of
CFSmartReports, how many of you have RECEIVED your
CFSmartReports, and how many of you (like me) have
never heard of it.”
CFSmartReports
should be an essential
part of your clinic visit.”

General rule: CFFPR collects only data that is relevant or might be
relevant to health outcomes of people with CF
39
CFFPR and EMR data exchanges
1. Most common EMR in the CF Care Center Network: Epic
2. Both inpatient and outpatient data are needed for CFFPR
3. Not all data elements required for CFFPR are in EMR
Pilot project launched November 2018 to evaluate feasibility of
electronic data exchanges between EMRs and CFFPR
40
CFSmartReports Usage by Program, 2017-18
100-150 CF care programs are using CFSmartReports every week
41
Patient Summary Report (PSR) Downloads,
2017-18
1000 or more PSRs are downloaded by CF Care Teams every week
42
“Saves an incredible amount of time to not have to dig through
labs, charts, etc… joy in work!”
Allows to use time more valuably to track down referrals and other
important info
“Provides great historical information about each patient (we
project the report on the screen during PVP meetings and have
had some great team dialogue about care)”
“Serves as a great data quality check – we have found some
missing data variables based on reviewing the reports together”
“Motivates our team to be more responsive to changes in data -
e.g. respond to a small change in lung function that we may not
have responded to before”
“Highlights which patients are not consented for PortCF and
getting them on board so they can benefit from these reports”
CFSmartReports feedback from care
teams
43
CFFPR data is helping care teams with pre-visit planning, population
management, and finding patients eligible for clinical trials. CF-specific
PSRs stimulate interest of patients and their families in co-production of
care. Use of CFSmartReports presents further opportunities to drive
care improvement by:
Development of appropriate measures to evaluate outcomes
Delivering clinical care alerts
Predictive analytics? Patients like me reports?
Decision Support? Giving access to patients and
families? Other?
Summary
Our model can be adopted by other disease foundations or
healthcare organizations that have disease-specific registries.
